LibreOffice is the provisional name of a community-led fork of OpenOffice that is to be developed under the umbrella of a European based non-profit to be named The Document Foundation. This should break OpenOffice free from the shackles of Sun/Oracle, hopefully leading to a faster and more inclusive development cycle.

This got me a job, now I earn the same amount of money in a day and a half, from saying on my CV I can do C#/ASP.NET and I know MS SQL Server. Knowing Linux/OpenBSD, PHP and MySQL has earned me a few hundred pounds and I spent a lot more effort learning it.

The ~2000 DKK (~268 EUR or ~365 USD or ~231£) Windows 7 Professional would cost me in Danish, I could make in a few days but why would I? It's not relevant for me work and it gives me nothing I can't do now.
